 * A <code>MIDlet</code> is a MID Profile application.
 * The application must extend this class to allow the
 * application management software to control the MIDlet and to be
 * able to retrieve properties from the application descriptor
 * and notify and request state changes.
 * The methods of this class allow the application management software
 * to create,  start, pause, and destroy a MIDlet.
 * A <code>MIDlet</code> is a set of classes designed to be run and
 * controlled by the application management software via this interface.
 * The states allow the application management software to manage
 * the activities of multiple <CODE>MIDlets</CODE> within
 * a runtime environment.
 * It can select which <code>MIDlet</code>s are active at a given time
 * by starting and pausing them individually.
 * The application management software maintains the state of the
 * <code>MIDlet</code> and
 * invokes methods on the <code>MIDlet</code> to notify the MIDlet of
 * change states.
 * The <code>MIDlet</code>
 * implements these methods to update its internal activities and
 * resource usage as directed by the application management software.
 * The <code>MIDlet</code> can initiate some state changes itself and
 * notifies the application management software of those state changes
 * by invoking the appropriate methods.<p>
 *
 * <strong>Note:</strong> The methods on this interface signal state
 * changes. The state change is not considered complete until the state
 * change method has returned. It is intended that these methods return
 * quickly.<p>

     * when the requesting MIDlet suite exits, the platform MUST then
     * bring the appropriate application (if one exists) to the
     * foreground to let the user interact with the content.</p>
     *
     * <p>This is a non-blocking method. In addition, this method does
     * NOT queue multiple requests. On platforms where the MIDlet
     * suite must exit before the request is handled, the platform
     * MUST handle only the last request made. On platforms where the
     * MIDlet suite and the request can be handled concurrently, each
     * request that the MIDlet suite makes MUST be passed to the
     * platform software for handling in a timely fashion.</p>
     *
     * <p>If the URL specified refers to a MIDlet suite (either an
     * Application Descriptor or a JAR file), the application handling
     * the request MUST interpret it as a request to install the named
     * package. In this case, the platform's normal MIDlet suite
     * installation process SHOULD be used, and the user MUST be
     * allowed to control the process (including cancelling the
     * download and/or installation). If the MIDlet suite being
     * installed is an <em>update</em> of the currently running MIDlet
     * suite, the platform MUST first stop the currently running
     * MIDlet suite before performing the update. On some platforms,

     * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2806.txt">RFC2806</a>, then the
     * platform MUST interpret this as a request to initiate a voice
     * call. The request MUST be passed to the &quot;phone&quot;
     * application to handle if one is present in the platform. The
     * &quot;phone&quot; application, if present, MUST be able to set
     * up local and global phone calls and also perform DTMF post
     * dialing. Not all elements of RFC2806 need be implemented,
     * especially the area-specifier or any other requirement on the
     * terminal to know its context. The isdn-subaddress,
     * service-provider and future-extension may also be

     * telephony services.</p>

     * wireless network, or initiating a voice call). Therefore the
     * platform MUST ask the user to explicitly acknowledge each
     * request before the action is taken. Implementation freedoms are
     * possible so that a pleasant user experience is retained. For
     * example, some platforms may put up a dialog for each request
     * asking the user for permission, while other platforms may
     * launch the appropriate application and populate the URL or
     * phone number fields, but not take the action until the user
